    I like reading. I love many different kinds of books, because they not only open my mind but also give me {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    Up to now I have read a lot of books, such as magazines, novels and storybooks. But one of the books that I like best is The Story of My Life. It was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} by American writer Helen Keller in 1902. She was a blind, deaf and dumb person. In the book, she wrote that she had not been able to see, hear or speak {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she was one year and seven months old. This unusual thing made her very {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Luckily, she met her good teacher, Miss Sullivan {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the age of seven. Helen was getting happier every day. Then, Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words. At first, Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen's hands with her own fingers again and again. Helen was a very {#blank#}6{#/blank#} girl. She tried as much as possible to remember words. After that, she wrote many famous works. The Story of My Life is one of {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.

    The Story of My Life describes her hard struggle (奋斗) to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a good writer and educationist of the world.

    It {#blank#}9{#/blank#} us an important truth: Nothing is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} if you put your heart into it! This is why I like it best. What about you?

    When a wolf was walking near a village, he met a dog. It {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to be a very bony(瘦骨嶙峋的)dog. The wolf had not been hungrier than usual. So he began to move {#blank#}2{#/blank#}towards the dog, while the dog backed away.

    "Let me remind you," said the dog. "it will be an unhappy thing for you to eat me now. Look at {#blank#}3{#/blank#}ribs(肋骨). I am nothing but skin and bone. But let me tell you something in private. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a few days my master will give a wedding feast (宴会) for his only daughter.

    You can guess how fine and fat I will be on the leftovers(残羹剩饭) from the table.

Then it will be the best time for you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} me."

    The wolf couldn't help thinking how nice it would be to cat a fine and fat dog instead of the bony one. So he went away.

    Some days later, the wolf came back for the promised feast. He found the dog in his {#blank#}6{#/blank#}yard, and asked him to come out and was ready to eat him.

    "Sir," said the dog. "I shall be glad to have you cat me. I will be out as {#blank#}7{#/blank#}as

the porter(看门的人) opens the door."

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the "porter" was a huge dog to be very unkind towards wolves, which the wolf knew by a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}experience. He learnt an important lesson {#blank#}10{#/blank#}what you can get when you can get it. So he decided not to wait and ran away as fast as possible.
